Description

So I pretty much had to do the Trifid by itself to have a full set. This is probably the last image for the 130mm and 533 and it is time to dial in my stars for the wide cameras. The moon was a bit of a bear last night but in a way the low elevation of M20 was a help for a change. I think I might add some diffraction spikes as a revision later.

Revision 8-29-2021 This is a more natural image product of the camera and filter
